• The Simple Womans Daybook Monday 26 October 2009

   

  Outside my window……..the sun is shining, the air is crisp and cool and it is a perfect fall day here at home in central New York.  If I may be so bold as to quote Dorothy, “there’s no place like home!” 

  I am thinking…….every once in awhile everyone should venture away from their place of comfort and joy in order to be knowing wherein that comfort and joy dwells. 

  I am thankful for……..my family that I visited for the last ten days.  Much thanks for giving me a place to lay my head at night, plenty of laughs and good times to keep in my heart when the inevitable sorrow comes, lots of good food and hugs and love that is irreplaceable.

  I am wearing………my comfies in tribute to my nieces Catherine and Abby.  No other places to go today girls so here I am in sweats and slippers. 

  I am going…….nowhere for the rest of the day.  I have so much catching up to do after being gone so long.  There is a focaccia dough rising and soup simmering on the stove and plenty of schoolwork to correct.  No need for me to leave this house, at least until tomorrow.

  I am reading……nothing for now but I have to get back to my reading soon.

  I am hoping……..to get all caught up on my work so that I can spend my usual Wednesday sewing and maybe meet MK in Mo’ville for the show.

  From the schoolroom……..Matthew is doing his work like the scholar that he is.

  From the kitchen……..homemade tomato/basil focaccia and pasta e fagioli for supper.  Haven’t cooked but once in the past two weeks.

  Around the house……..all is neat as a pin and clean.  My men know how to clean up before I arrive home.

  One of my favorite things……..the dog sleeping by the wood stove and the smell of soup simmering in the pot.

  Here is a picture thought that I am sharing with you………

  

  While I was staying with my older brother Chris we took a hike.  This is me with some of his family.  My nieces Abby and Catherine.  My sister-in-law Sharon, myself and Chris.  My niece Audrey is in the back.  What a beautiful time we had.
